Toxic Fluoride In The Water Supply [Videos]
Is our population being poisoned by unsafe water?
In Stanley Kubrick’s classic 1964 dark comedy Dr. Strangelove, a crazy U.S. Air Force general by the name of Jack D. Ripper (played by Sterling Hayden) starts WW III because he thinks the Soviet communists are poisoning the water supply with fluoride [see below]. The Cold War ended without any nuclear attacks, of course, but over the years, however, fluoride has become no laughing matter. Many holistic health experts claim that fluoride is a deadly toxin that has no business being in drinking water. Mike Adams, the self-named “health ranger” who heads the Consumer Wellness Center, has just come out with a video called The Fluoride Deception that explains that fluoride is actually industrial waste:

Forced fluoridation is not just an issue in the U.S. Here is the trailer of a new Australian documentary called Fire Water that similarly opposes mandatory water fluoridation..

Here is the scene from Dr. Strangelove in which General Ripper explains the fluoride conspiracy to Capt. Lionel Mandrake (Peter Sellers):

AP EXCLUSIVE: US Says Too Much Fluoride in Water
AP EXCLUSIVE: Government plans lower fluoride limits; study shows kids have splotchy teeth
ATLANTA January 7, 2011 (AP)
Fluoride in drinking water — credited with dramatically cutting cavities and tooth decay — may now be too much of a good thing. Getting too much of it causes spots on some kids' teeth.
A reported increase in the spotting problem is one reason the federal government will announce Friday it plans to lower the recommended levels for fluoride in water supplies — the first such change in nearly 50 years.
About 2 out of 5 adolescents have tooth streaking or spottiness because of too much fluoride, a surprising government study found recently. In some extreme cases, teeth can even be pitted by the mineral — though many cases are so mild only dentists notice it. The problem is generally considered cosmetic.
Health officials note that most communities have fluoride in their water supplies, and toothpaste has it too. Some kids are even given fluoride supplements.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is announcing a proposal to change the recommended fluoride level to 0.7 milligrams per liter of water. And the Environmental Protection Agency will review whether the maximum cutoff of 4 milligrams per liter is too high.
The standard since 1962 has been a range of 0.7 to 1.2 milligrams per liter.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the splotchy tooth condition, fluorosis, is unexpectedly common in kids ages 12 through 15. And it appears to have grown much more common since the 1980s.
"One of the things that we're most concerned about is exactly that," said an administration official who was not authorized to speak publicly before the release of the report. The official described the government's plans in an interview with The Associated Press.
But there are other concerns, too. A scientific report five years ago said that people who consume a lifetime of too much fluoride — an amount over EPA's limit of 4 milligrams — can lead to crippling bone abnormalities and brittleness.
